I’m a designer, writer and researcher based in London.
I make quilts, clothes, books, and friends. I’m interested in the intersections between craft, technology, and labour, particularly around activities traditionally considered ‘women’s work’.
My first non-fiction book, In Pursuit of Color: from fungi to fossil fuels, uncovering the origins of the world’s most famous dyes (Atelier Éditions) is out in June 2023. A second non-fiction book is under development.
I also freelance as a copywriter and researcher, my portfolio is available upon request.
And, like everyone else, I have a newsletter.

Selected Press: Katie Tregidden’s Circular by Design Podcast, Vogue, Hole & Corner, Country Living, Homes and Gardens, and House and Home Magazine.
